Commercial Roof Inspections in Wellington, CO to Document Roof Hail Damage from July 27, 2022 Storm

Commercial Roofing & Restoration

Disaster Response Team

Jul 28, 2022

People in Wellington, CO, were forced to shelter in place on Saturday, July 27th, as hail strikes pounded building roofs and torrential downpours caused flash flooding. Commercial property owners will require prompt commercial roof inspection and roof repair services to prevent water damage and expedite insurance claims. RestoreMaster has a roof repair office in Colorado Springs, Colorado that provides statewide support, including commercial roof inspection and emergency roof repair in Wellington.

“Hail stones the size of grapes and larger were reported in Wellington and other portions of Larimer County,” the Coloradoan reported. “Up to 2.55 inches of precipitation had fallen in Fort Collins proper and up to 2.62 inches in Wellington.”

Commercial property owners are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. Even minor hail roof damage can leave cracks in roof sealants, panels, and shingles that allow rain to penetrate. When moisture soaks rafters and load-bearing infrastructure, it can result in significant water damage. And hazardous molds grow behind walls, impacting the health of commercial building occupants.

A local hail damage map shows four intense weather formations over northern Colorado. One hovers to the west of Route 287. A pair of hailstorms trekked east of Pierce, Ault, and Eaton, impacting buildings along Highway 14. The most severe roof hail strikes occurred in the greater Wellington area as a massive storm stretched from Windsor to the Wyoming border.

The yellow sections depict hail up to 1.25 inches pelting communities and farmland. The light orange areas highlight ice as large as 1.75 inches in diameter, inflicting damage to residential and commercial roofing systems. But the dark orange swath that hit Wellington indicates ice stones up to 2.5 inches inflicted hail roof damage.

RestoreMaster responded to Pierre, SD, to provide emergency roof repair and inspections after a storm caused roof wind damage on June 20, 2022.

Severe storms, bringing hail, strong winds, or tornadoes can cause severe roof damage, by ripping off roofing systems.

Older roofs are susceptible to severe wind damage, by winds as low as 50 mph.

The severity of roof damage depends on several factors including: type and age of roofing materials, presence of flying debris, roof shape and angle, building height and proximity to adjacent structures and the quality of original roof installation.

Getting a roof inspection & property damage assessment after severe weather like this is important for determining whether you need to address roof damage from hail or high winds.

If roof leaks are a problem, they need to be addressed immediately. Experienced roofing contractors can either cover the affected area (or the entire roof) with a tarp or with a durable shrink wrap plastic membrane until long-term repairs can be made. Preventing water intrusion will help stop mold from growing.

If your property was anywhere within the storm damage map, it would be best to get your roof inspected, even if you think your roof was not damaged.

Many storm damage symptoms are not always evident immediately.

And insurance companies can require you to get a claim in before their deadline.
